Caol Ila 1976/2022 G&M PVC Private Collection #8102

Special features: The Caol Ila 1976/2022 from the Private Collection of Gordon & MacPhail is a 46-year-old whisky that was distilled in 1976. It matured in a refill American Hogshead and is presented in a high-quality premium box. With an alcohol content of 45.8% vol., it showcases the characteristic features of the Islay region and highlights the smoky style typical of the distillery. This bottling is an example of the careful selection of single casks by Gordon & MacPhail, one of the oldest independent bottlers in Scotland.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: On the nose, a complex bouquet of smoke, sea salt, and ripe citrus fruits caresses the senses.
• Palate: On the palate, the first sip surprises with notes of peat, followed by fruity accents and a subtle sweetness that elegantly complements the smoky note.
• Finish: The finish is long-lasting, characterized by deep, spicy tones and a gentle, peaty warmth that invites a refill.
